I broke the sound barrier when it comes to purchasing technology in our district. One morning we are using borrowed iPods to deliver oral semester tests, that afternoon I have a school credit card and approved purchase order to buy 10 iPods for our campus. That has to be an all time record for our district. I attribute that to an administration that believes that we (and all other public schools) are behind the technology front. They believe that we need to move ahead (or is it catch up) to the technology that is available and integrate it into our classrooms. There were some other roads we had to pave to make this purchase happen so quickly, but that fact that the road is paved makes me smile on the inside. The bottom line is this…when the money starts going to technology, admin “gets it.”Film, or should I say podcast, at eleven…

What a great way to differentiate instruction! I never thought of that. I’ll share it with our middle and high school tech coordinators. Congratulations on making positive change happen so quickly. I love that the students felt cool instead of dumb. Wish I saw that happening more often.
